00:10:06.180But if she had done that, Owen, I'm with Goldie. My point was she didn't do it. And that's why we're playing it today. And that's what made it go viral was that everybody would just want... I think it's a girl thing too, right? If it's a woman and you're like, it's Prince. You kind of curl up like, oh my God.
00:10:26.620Not me. I would have been like, maybe Marcella. You never know.
00:10:31.480but i mean if you knew the words to delirious and you knew where the words to you know purple
00:10:38.820rain and other things then you might have been like sure i'll do it okay let's go you know that's
00:10:42.540the difference between now and and before because now you just like rock it you know like okay
00:10:48.940take out your phone like ask ai to tell you the words for it and read them out loud i don't know
00:10:56.340I would be like, sometimes it snows in April.
00:11:00.800Like, you know, like throw one at him, right, Owen?
00:15:08.380So the United States is currently undergoing a process of reforming the system by which we choose.
00:15:15.600How many people come into our country, who comes in, when they come in, etc.
00:15:19.520Anytime you undertake a reform, anytime you undertake a change in the system by which you admit people,
00:15:25.800or frankly anytime you undertake a reform in any system, not just on immigration,
00:15:30.560there's going to be a period of transition that's going to create some friction points and some difficulties and so forth.
00:15:38.380Ultimately, we think when this process is in place, once this process has been modernized, and that's really what it is. We are modernizing the U.S. immigration system for the 21st century so that it is an immigration system that's not just good for the America, but it's also good for the people that are coming.
00:15:53.440Once we are complete and once we've done the work of modernizing that system,
00:15:57.200I think we're going to come up with a system, we're going to wind up with a system that's more efficient
00:16:01.200and even better than the previous system, and in some ways may prove to be even more beneficial
00:16:05.380than the previous system was to people from India that seek to enter the United States to work and innovate.
00:16:12.300But obviously there's going to be a period of adjustment along the way.
00:16:15.140So what I want to leave clear is that the changes, while they may be having a disproportionate impact
00:16:20.840on a place like India that provides so many high-skilled workers to the U.S. economy.
00:16:25.440It is not a system that is targeted at India.
00:16:28.440It is one that's being applied globally.
00:16:30.360But we're in a period of transition, and like any period of transition,
00:16:33.560there's going to be some bumps on that road,
00:16:37.920but we think ultimately our destination is going to be a better system,
00:16:41.800a more efficient system, one that works better than the one that we had in place previously,
00:36:36.260If we're going to do this deal, we win.
00:36:39.000He also said that Israel is nearing their final stage of a cursed demise, declared America will no longer have a safe military bases in the region.
00:36:46.880They're probably going to try to negotiate that.
00:36:49.720That's the thing that they want to do.
00:36:52.940They called an Iranian hash pilgrim to spread the message of Iran's victory, invited all Islamic nations to unite towards a new regional order.
00:37:02.720So right now, most of the message that the Ayatollah is putting out is messages for their own country to look like not to lose face in front of them.
00:37:17.360that's how i see it um i don't know about yeah i um i was gonna say that i was just reading some
00:37:25.660of the comments yes sandy yeah um israel needs our weapons and then you know i know what the
00:37:32.820answer is going to be but i'm just like why can israel have a nuke like shouldn't everybody be
00:37:38.800disarming their nukes i know that they're like a sitting duck in that region but shouldn't
00:37:44.300everybody be disarming their nukes okay and i'm just going to toss it to you jeff yeah you know
00:37:49.720uh from from what i understand about president trump uh he he doesn't like
00:37:56.500nuclear weapons you know i think he respects the like the only times i've ever really seen him just
00:38:04.000like almost be lost for words is when he talks about the devastation of a nuclear weapon uh and
00:38:09.720think that's appropriate right like if you if you've done any any research into uh what a nuclear
00:38:15.640weapon can do you're like oh man maybe we shouldn't have done that like maybe maybe we should
00:38:20.280have kept that box closed um and and so you you bring up a good point it's like uh you know should
00:38:27.400should any country have nuclear weapons um the reality is you you could say like maybe we should
00:38:35.240should all give them up maybe we should all have them like the reality is we we live in a world
00:38:39.420where some some superpowers have them some superpowers don't uh and it's a it's a tough
00:38:45.740question i don't i don't think that uh there's any any world in which israel would give up their
00:38:50.860undisclosed amount of nuclear weapons because their their um position has always been we will
00:38:55.900neither confirm nor deny uh that we have that we have nuclear weapons right um but i do i do think
00:39:03.360that probably a good move by trump is saying like hey there is a much larger table which instead of
00:39:10.260it being sort of a three-way negotiation between israel iran and the united states it's now a
00:39:15.260you can just picture the table of like a really giant table with all of these different uh
00:39:21.040countries and every country's uh role is somewhat diminished israel being one where it's like you
00:39:28.760got to hop on the train of of peace that's moving like you have to run to catch up with a train and
00:39:34.620grab the the handrail the conductor has to lift you up like there's there's something magic that
00:39:39.980that trump does every once in a while where it's kind of the the the train is moving you better
00:39:45.200get aboard he's like come along come along yeah i i love that i love the um come along feeling
00:39:51.120because nobody i don't care if you're a country or a person but nobody wants to feel like the
00:39:56.380odd man out. And if they're pretending they do, it's, you know, I feel like it's like that kid
00:40:02.180that was like bullied and they're like, no, I like it over here. Or they are the bully because
00:40:07.300they're insecure. So I look at it the same way. I think the Abraham Accords are the most brilliant
00:40:13.860thing I've seen. I never thought I'd see it. So that's an amazing thing. So can we have another
00:40:20.580grouping, that would be fabulous for everybody. But there's so much history. And then I just don't
00:40:28.340know, well, I don't want to start getting the whole Gaza thing now into the Israel thing,
00:40:33.640into the Iran thing, but it's just so much. And I just feel like we are, whether it's right or
00:40:41.120wrong or indifferent, I'm just saying, guys, we just are so intertwined with Israel, with all of
00:40:48.200their beef with everybody that is just like, who, you know, are we spread too thin, you know,
00:40:54.140on their behalf? Are we okay here? Um, I don't know. Uh, so that's what worries me. So I just
00:41:01.580want Israel to just kind of like play it cool. Don't drop any unnecessary, but everybody just
00:41:07.500calm. Go for that. For that one last smack. Right. It's like, look, we're so close. It would
00:41:12.880It would probably be good for us to get out of our entanglements, focus on the homeland,
00:41:18.320which would be helpful for the midterms and just helpful beyond politically, it even goes
00:41:23.840back to the H1B thing, help middle-class America.
00:41:42.580talked about this yesterday right you guys we were talking about oprah and i was just like
00:41:46.820you have to either be like totally check all the boxes my blue hair my trans my you know poor
00:41:54.580upbringing and you know we had to pee outside in a pot like okay to you know like the richest of
00:42:00.820the rich and then you're just like and for you in the middle class like we're gonna ignore you
00:42:05.700you just keep driving the ship creating the jobs paying the taxes you know but oprah's gonna give
00:42:11.140all of them a car and you guys are all rich and you can do what you want. And then you're like,
00:42:15.720what about us? You know, like there's no incentive for the middle class to do better because they're
00:42:21.140just going to take way more from you. You have to go from like middle class to fricking wealthy
00:42:28.580to not feel the pain in between there. And that's just very difficult to do. Um, so yeah, I, I would
00:42:36.420really love to see focus on our country on the homeland i would love to see every country do
00:42:42.900their absolute best to take care of themselves and like i know it's not to sound like a bitch
00:42:47.700but it's really like not our problem but we're making it our problem so it's kind of like enough
00:42:53.140now and that's like where the the like fatigue comes in it's not like we don't we want everyone
00:42:57.860to be safe and peaceful and prosper and live in harmony. However, it can't be ongoing and never
00:43:08.320ending and at the expense of our country. And that's what a lot of us are seeing. And I'd much
00:43:16.300rather, I'll always vote for the Republican. I will never vote for the loony Democrats,
00:43:21.620but there are people that will because they feel ignored again. And yeah, I want to go right into
00:43:28.440Spencer Pratt on that because I always say like, you know, he's Trump 2015. He is, he, I told you
00:43:35.000guys, not to be like, I told you so, but I told you guys that he does not want a Trump endorsement.
00:43:40.380He just like, leave me alone. Like I'm good over here. And Jeff, I wish you were here that day
00:43:44.180because, you know, Joel thought it was a good thing. You know, maybe people thought it was a
00:43:47.980good thing. And I'm like, leave him alone. He's fine. Like he's appealing to the Angelenos. And
00:43:54.200I love that about him that he just stays in the middle of the road. It's the perfect,
00:43:58.320perfect thing. So give us all your Spencer. Oh, wait, but look at this, you guys.
00:44:03.340Oh, yeah. Spencer posted that he is listening to Jeff's book Confidence Max Maxing. He posted it
00:44:11.100on his uh x account isn't that amazing yeah you know you've uh it's really gratifying to
00:44:18.300spend a year of your life pouring everything you know into a book and then spencer pratt just
00:44:23.020casually drops the oh yeah by the way i'm listening to the audiobook right now
00:44:27.420right in the middle of everything yeah yeah yeah it's like it's like he he's got all this extra
00:44:32.380time you know he's running for mayor like he's probably just like lounging by the pool listening
00:44:36.300to my book right it's like i heard he only sleeps like two or three hours a night and it's like okay
00:44:41.260well i mean and i guess yeah so congratulations that was a huge endorsement so what did you let's
00:44:48.220start there what did you think i loved his response about trump and i loved how he said the only
00:44:54.140person's you know endorsement i want are the moms yeah the moms and the animal lovers yeah and it's
00:45:00.300like he he does the article i'm working on now that that uh is going to be part four is on spencer
00:45:07.740pratt's use of the high ground uh which his entire campaign is is a continuous um seeking
00:45:13.820and capturing of the high ground of different conversations and it's it's very easy for him to
00:45:19.980to execute on because when you look at how uh how la is currently doing and the leadership in la and
00:45:28.140potholes not being filled and rampant NGO abuse is probably the right phrase. It's so easy for
00:45:36.380someone just to come in with not all that radical ideas and say, hey, look around. How is your life
00:45:44.240going? Did you have to step over human excrement on the way to Starbucks? Are you afraid of getting
00:45:52.200your arm chopped off by someone with the machete um i i um posted yesterday there's this he's
00:45:59.760actually a pretty famous copywriter uh his name is craig clemens and he posted a video of his car
00:46:05.600got broken into in la and like if i'm remembering right his his car actually got stolen and along
00:46:12.740with two two baby seats in the back and he called 911 they told him to go down to the police station
00:46:18.560and report it he went down to the police station the police station was closed it was closed at
00:46:23.460at 6 p.m like banker's hours closed and then they had a little note on the door that said hey you
00:46:29.020know if if it's an emergency go ahead and you know tap the intercom the blue intercom button he goes
00:46:34.240over to the blue intercom he had a video about this and he's like the intercom doesn't work
00:46:38.280and it's like at what point is it just perjurific los angeles like it's so easy for someone like
00:46:47.420Pratt to just come in and say, hey, where I am, the decay will no longer be. And that's exactly
00:46:53.920what we're seeing. That's why he's surging. And that's why I still stand by my argument that
00:46:57.760on June 1st, it will feel like he is running unopposed. The only thing I may have gotten
00:47:01.660wrong is I may have, it may not even be till June 1st. Maybe he feels, maybe it feels like
00:47:06.800he's running unopposed right now. Interesting. So somebody asked, Marcella, I don't know,
00:47:11.740you know California is wild with the ballot harvesting right so how do we know that this
00:47:18.220I mean we don't know I mean to me I feel like this could be a huge problem I mean not to be
00:47:24.600on the spot about that but anything about it I was just thinking there's so much interference
00:47:28.540yeah there there is interference with ballot harvesting there's a lot of you know legal
00:47:35.340immigrants in that area. In certain areas of LA, there's also very elderly people that are
00:47:43.260susceptible. And there's a lot of homeless people, as we saw, that people are trying to register to
00:47:49.840vote and to vote. And there's mail-in ballots. I'm not a believer in mail-in ballots because I
00:48:00.440think there could be a lot of, it's more open to fraud. There's so many different ways of having
00:48:07.880the machine staying the machine, you know? So I would want to know what Spencer's doing
00:48:17.880to overcome those issues. I don't think, I don't even think anyone can overcome those issues at
00:48:24.780all besides having a lot of lawyers nearby and being able to do some kind of enforcement
00:48:33.400of the ballot boxes, you know, so I know that there's the mayor race, but then there's the
00:48:40.780governor race as well. And for Steve Hilton, who is, you know, who is one of the candidates that
00:48:50.180may pass to the to the final election um there was the garden growth thing where they moved 50 000
00:48:58.100people out of there and a lot of people were saying what about the ballot boxes what who's
00:49:03.060taking care of those and things like that so um it's it the politics in in los angeles is not
00:49:12.740um not easy to deal with I used to work in the government and I know how um how treacherous it
00:49:24.420can be like even as a regular employee um it's like it's like I can't even explain to you but
00:49:32.220it's like Shakespeare like uh there's always intrigue in the castle you know there's all
00:49:38.900these talks and all that um so i think spencer pratt is doing a great job uh regardless because
00:49:46.800he is taking on the machine he is the david against um the goliath and you know what
00:49:54.900win or not and and hopefully he wins and you both are right um i think he still will be taking on
00:50:02.900the machine because once he becomes mayor the machine is still there the the la county supervisors
00:50:09.180are still leftist as can be and socialist um and the way that the the lapd chief is running things
00:50:20.840the way the sheriff the district attorney is a lot better than before but you're still going to be
00:50:27.480dealing with all of these obstacles beyond the regular obstacles you have, which is like
00:50:33.420crime and poverty and all sorts of things. So you know what? He is brave. He is amazing
00:50:41.060because no one in the past, maybe since 1997 has taken on the machine to this level. So I give him
00:50:51.300props for that. Amen. Me too. So Jeff, what do you know about the ballot harvesting and watching
00:51:00.180the ballot drop boxes? It's a huge problem for governor. I mean, LA, listen, join hands. Okay.
00:51:06.600You guys join hands mentally and then say to yourself, the universe owes me because it does
00:51:13.720because you people you've been through enough. Okay. The universe owes you. Let's go. So go ahead,
00:51:18.980jeff sorry yeah and and i'll i'll be i'll be transparent i i don't know enough about that
00:51:24.480side of it no well now what i would say would be um similar to like a trump 2016 uh my hunch
00:51:33.920would be it's probably best for spencer pratt to go ahead and win june 2nd because my my my sort
00:51:41.420of gut read on it is more time equals uh more potential for shenanigans right um i think it
00:51:48.380would be very interesting if uh um spencer pratt connected with someone like um oh gosh uh i think
00:51:56.560his name's cliff maloney uh he he and he and joshua lysig just recently released the book run
00:52:03.720right um and purely for for get out the vote sort of stuff and it sounds like i i have seen some
00:52:12.420spencer pratt posts where he's been talking about like go go around and collect ballots from your
00:52:17.980friends and all that stuff and drop them off and like so i think he he is aware of that he hasn't
00:52:22.440talked a whole lot about it publicly beyond just normal get out the vote stuff um i think it would
00:52:27.400be incredibly interesting if uh i i don't know what trump could do necessarily but if uh he was
00:52:33.880to i don't know send send uh the appropriate personnel there just to watch uh you know sort
00:52:41.620these these drop boxes and stuff like that i think that behavior changes once people are being
00:52:48.020observed and so if there could just be some sort of apparatus for increased perception of observation
00:52:55.300that may be enough to to change or at least put a chill on people doing certain laura trump did
00:53:01.780that during the last trump uh yeah yeah and and who knows like that that could have had i think
00:53:07.940I think it's one of those things where we may not know for years or decades, but that may have had a gigantic impact that was extremely quiet because when something goes right, you don't really notice anything, right?
00:53:18.200They had a bunch of attorneys watching.
00:53:20.280Yeah, I mean, Marcella, get all the attorneys.
00:53:23.240No, there's actually attorneys are watching this election.
00:53:30.880he's in the he's in the california senate or he's a representative legislature in california he's a
00:53:39.120republican he carlos de mayo so carlos de mayo and other groups are actually going through the uh
00:53:47.600through the rules the voter rules and making sure that the person is an actual bed or so he has
00:53:56.560different lawyers working together uh not just for this election but for the election of the
00:54:02.800governor uh the governor election and um that's been a like a point in california is that there's
00:54:13.360been a lot of decedents a lot of people that are dead that vote and it's not good you know like
00:54:21.120there's no way and so they have sued before for those records and they have uh
00:54:28.560carl de mayo sorry i i listen to him all the time and he is wonderful he is one of the main leaders
00:54:36.480in california for republicans and um sorry carl no that's great i mean that's great to know
00:54:44.640so that's that gives me hope and talking about elections we have texas uh i don't know if
00:54:50.080if there's people in texas here but i know it's are you here drop yourselves in the chat if you're
00:54:56.240from texas and you're voting today um or if you're not from texas and going to text to vote don't
00:55:03.060tell us yeah or if you're in texas and you're dead and you can vote today it's for uh ken paxton and
00:55:11.260um oh my god no but who's running for ag we were just saying chip roy chip roy dude bring it on
00:55:20.060on. Give me some masculine energy. Let's go. I love that. Um, so good luck to everybody there.
00:55:28.400Um, Texas, I don't recognize you anymore. You got to get back to being the big bad-asses that
00:55:33.460you're supposed to be enough with this nonsense. Um, I love that you guys, we have four minutes
00:55:40.440left. Andy, I beat you to my time, Nazism. So, um, what do you, what, so Jeff, tell us what you
00:55:48.960have coming up now for like the winding down for Spencer? Like, how are you going to be
00:55:55.320covering him and helping him? Yeah. So I, um, I'm going to continue writing articles,
00:56:02.060continue giving analysis. And, uh, I mean, he apparently pays attention to me, which is kind
00:56:08.100of a wild thing to say. Uh, not that I'm all that important in the big scheme of things.
00:56:12.160But I will try to call attention to things that I think he could maybe do to sort of close the last, gosh, it's not long now until the 2nd of June.
00:56:25.840Can you suggest people watching the ballot boxes like Laura Trump did?
00:56:30.360Yeah, so that would be a really good step in my opinion, and that could absolutely be something that I cover.
00:56:39.780I think it would be really interesting if and I know he's he's done a he's shared some stuff about people going around and harvesting ballots from homeless people and and anything he could do to to call attention to the fact that this this is going on where these people may may not be eligible to vote in in Los Angeles City election.
00:57:09.780Uh, I would like to see him just like be mayoral, call a press conference and, and say, uh, you
00:57:16.300know, I want these records preserved because when I'm mayor, you know, we're going to be
